Sexual selections: what we can and can't learn about sex from animals / Marlene Zuk (2002)  

Public ISBD Titre : Sexual selections: what we can and can't learn about sex from animals Type de document : livre Auteurs : Marlene Zuk, Auteur Editeur : Berkeley : University of California Press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 239 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-520-24075-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sexual behavior in animals Résumé : Scientific discoveries about the animal kingdom fuel ideological battles on many fronts, especially battles about sex and gender. We now know that male marmosets help take care of their offspring. Is this heartening news for today's stay-at-home dads? Recent studies show that many female birds once thought to be monogamous actually have chicks that are fathered outside the primary breeding pair. Does this information spell doom for traditional marriages? And bonobo apes take part in female-female sexual encounters. Does this mean that human homosexuality is natural? This highly provocative book clearly shows that these are the wrong kinds of questions to ask about animal behavior. Marlene Zuk, a respected biologist and a feminist, gives an eye-opening tour of some of the latest developments in our knowledge of animal sexuality and evolutionary biology. Sexual Selections exposes the anthropomorphism and gender politics that have colored our understanding of the natural world and shows how feminism can help move us away from our ideological biases.

Sexual conflict / Arnqvist, G. ; Rowe, L. (2005)  

Public ISBD Titre : Sexual conflict Type de document : livre Auteurs : Arnqvist, G. ; Rowe, L. Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2005 Collection : Monographs in behavior and ecology Importance : 330 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-12218-2 Note générale : 2 ex. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Agonistic behavior in animals  Behaviour  Ecology  Sexual behavior in animals Résumé : The past decade has seen a profound change in the scientific understanding of reproduction. The traditional view of reproduction as a joint venture undertaken by two individuals, aimed at replicating their common genome, is being challenged by a growing body of evidence showing that the evolutionary interests of interacting males and females diverge. This book demonstrates that, despite a shared genome, conflicts between interacting males and females are ubiquitous, and that selection in the two sexes is continuously pulling this genome in opposite directions. These conflicts drive the evolution of a great variety of those traits that distinguish the sexes and also contribute to the diversification of lineages. Goran Arnqvist and Locke Rowe present an array of evidence for sexual conflict throughout nature, and they set these conflicts into the well-established theoretical framework of sexual selection. The recognition of conflict between the sexes is transforming our theories for the evolution of mating systems and the sexes themselves. Written by two top researchers in the field, Sexual Conflict is the first book to describe this transformation. It is a must read for all scholars and students interested in the evolutionary biology of reproduction.
